Come The Spring WIP
I’m not sure when I have time to finish this, but I felt like sharing the unfinished piece anyway - it’s been forever since I’ve last drawn Usva. Inspired by an Amorphis song of the same name and some of the material I’ve gathered on my Watcher’s pinterest board.
My latest obsession: collecting inspiration boards for my characters on Pinterest :P
Izalie with 18 and Usva with 100
Oooh, nice - both of my druids at once. :D Both palettes are quite lovely, too, so this was a fun challenge. Here, a treehugger from West Harbor and a pale elf from The White that Wends:
More little scenes that have popped into my head while playing Pillars of Eternity. Including the original two as well just because.
A couple of quick Pillars of Eternity drawings, because that’s more or less what occupies my headspace these days. More will follow later!
Yessss, I finally have a custom portrait for my character!
I am most pleased.
I’ve been working on Usva’s hair (and some other details) a bit further, and I’m rather liking how it’s turning out.
Alright, let’s see what kind of loot this chest conta -
No way
No way
I can have a cat???
Good game, 100/10, would recommend
More Pale Elf arctic druid stuff, inspired by this thing I drew before

Edér: So, aside from that weird “staring at dead things” habit that you have, I’ve been meaning to ask you... Why exactly do you walk around with pieces of driftwood on your head?
Usva: ... Aesthetic.
sovder replied to your post “Ah, the mighty Watcher. Rushing into battle armed with a larder door....”
Now you just need to have the ability to dual-wield doors as shields, and it will cementify this as Game of the Year. :D
Usva: Besides, these are some sort of traditional Dyrwoodan weapons, yes?
Edér: I... I’m not sure how to answer that.
Ah, the mighty Watcher. Rushing into battle armed with a larder door. Glorious.
Not exactly what I expected when I picked the “cat form” for my Druid, but... Damn. That is one kickass cat.
A quick drawing of my PoE character, Usva - or maybe it’s more of an outfit study, really. I rather liked the whole “arctic druid” concept, so I wanted to depict my Pale Elf the way she might have looked like during her time living in The White that Wends.
After four hours in character creation screen I finally managed to make up my mind long enough to actually click the “Done” button. I have a character. At least for now. Let’s hope I don’t have to reroll right away.
I wanted to be so many things all at once, but alas, one can only pick one. So, I decided to start with a Pale Elf, a drifter Druid from The White that Wends. I couldn’t find any info about naming conventions from that part of the world, but since “Glamfellen” sounds vaguely Nordic/Scandinavian to me, I ended up naming her Usva which hopefully sounds lore-friendly enough. It’s also a Finnish word for “mist”, so I think it works pretty well considering her pallid color scheme and the druidish nature theme.
Out of all the classes I wanted to try (still itching to play the Cipher one day), the Druid eventually won. I haven’t played as one since Neverwinter Nights 2, and I’m not entirely sure what it will be like in this game, but I remember it as a bit of a jack-of-all-trades class: some melee, few spells, a bit of buffs and heals... Which seems like a solid enough choice for me since I have no idea what the party composition will be like. At this point I’m just hoping the Druid class will be versatile enough to pull me through most situations regardless of what kind of people I happen to pick up.
I also rather like Pale Elf Druid combination for backstory reasons. As far as I understand, The White that Wends is pretty icy and barren when it comes to plant life, and that sounds like a plausible enough reason for a person with nature affinity to venture far north in search of greener pastures (hehe). Plus, she is a literal outlander who comes from a vastly different place - meaning I get to ask all kinds of dumb and obvious questions and it won’t even be out of character. I know barely anything about the world I am entering, but my character wouldn’t be particularly knowledgeable either. So in a sense, it will be two clueless ones exploring the Eastern Reach... :D
